Middle School Math Contests: Number Theory and Geometry

Summer Mathematics

Middle-school math contests such as MATHCOUNTS are a launching pad for many of the best math students.
In this course designed for rising 6th through 8th graders, we draw problems from several middle-school
contests, including MATHCOUNTS and the American Mathematics Competitions 8 (AMC 8), as well as beginning
high-school contests like the American Mathematics Competitions 10 (AMC 10). Students are introduced to
important topics in number theory and geometry, and will work individually or collaboratively to solve
challenging problems related to these topics. Students will also participate in practice individual and
team competitions during the camp, which will provide them both mathematical skills and test-taking
experience that will prepare them for key events in the upcoming school year.

This two-week course meets Monday through Friday for three hours each day. Summer 2020 courses will run online for all sessions.

Space is very limited for our summer programs. Please do not wait until the last minute to enroll.
If there are more than two weeks before the course starts, a $200 deposit will be due when enrolling, with the balance
due two weeks before the course begins.

Sample Problems

Below are examples of some of the types of problems that students will encounter in our
Middle School Math Contests: Number Theory and Geometry course.

"Our homeschooled son is extremely gifted in math and science. He really feels at home at AoPS Academy. Through coaching and personal attention at AoPS, he achieved a 5 in AP Calculus at 11 years old and a 4 in AP Statistics at 12. He also achieved an 800 on SAT II math at 12 years old. Our son feels very comfortable in the atmosphere of AoPS, where being gifted in math is not looked down on, but treated with respect. He has truly found his peers at AoPS Academy.

AoPS Academy allows my son to be himself, learn that there are other kids well advanced in math, and gives him the confidence to know that it is OK to be great in math, and that other people will respect and value his ability."-Neil D.
